Rohtak/New Delhi, November 12, 2026: The Congress will take its ‘Save the Vote, Save the Nation’ campaign to villages, chaupals and community gatherings across Haryana, Former CM and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said after a meeting of the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) held today at Haryana Bhawan, Delhi.
The meeting, chaired by Hooda, was attended by state Congress in-charge Sanjay Dutt and state president Rao Narendra Singh. The leaders reviewed preparations for the upcoming Assembly session and discussed the party’s future programmes.
The Congress leadership thanked party MLAs and the people of Haryana for their support in making the Opposition’s November 1 ‘Maha Rally’ in Delhi a success. It was decided that MLAs would organise meetings in their respective constituencies to highlight alleged voter theft and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
Hooda said the party would raise several public issues during the forthcoming Assembly session. The Congress also extended support to students protesting at Mewat Engineering College, stating that their demands for adequate faculty and basic facilities were justified.
Expressing concern over the declining standard of education in Haryana, Hooda said several government schools were facing a shortage of teachers and basic infrastructure, while the quality of higher education in colleges and universities was also deteriorating. The party has decided to submit a memorandum to the Governor on the issue.
The Congress will also raise the Bhakra Management Board issue in the Assembly, with Hooda alleging that Haryana was being denied its rightful share of water.
He said the government would be questioned on inflation, unemployment and farmers’ problems, including the availability of fertilisers and remunerative prices for their produce.
The next CLP meeting will be held in Chandigarh on November 25. Meanwhile, party MLAs have been asked to intensify public outreach through constituency-level meetings.
